PCL has been an active partner at the forefront of the LLR Covid Vaccination Programme from its inception. We have been successful in introducing innovative, versatile and efficient ways of delivering vaccinations. We carefully considered the barriers to vaccination and sought ingenious and thoughtful ways to overcome them.
The Covid-19 vaccination roll out was unprecedented. A dynamic, fast-paced yet thorough response was essential. PCL brought together a collaborative working group with many partners in order to tackle the issue. This group was tasked to deliver solid results at pace and under time constraints.
The working group included:
- Leicestershire Partnership NHS Trust
- University Hospital Leicester
- All LLR Primary Care Networks and Federations
- LLR Integrated Care Board
- Many of LLR’s community pharmacies
- Voluntary Action Leicester
- The Lions Club
- Royal Voluntary Service
- Faith leaders from all denominations
- Food banks
- Schools
- Private Enterprise
- Shopping Centres
- Local Authorities
- Public Health
- Councils
- Charitable Groups
Our dynamic mobile units/pop-up clinics were able to take the vaccination service out into the heart of the community.
- We set up and ran 9 vaccination sites across LLR
- Our sites delivered 227,435 vaccinations
- 31,810 vaccinations were given using our mobile and pop-up clinics
- Dynamic clinics were set up in places such as Leicester Islamic Centre, Tesco Superstore at Hamilton, Christ The King Food Bank, Coalville High Street and High Cross Shopping Centre
- We took advantage of high traffic events (such as the Black Friday sales) to offer a vaccination service
- We set-up a drive-thru clinic, aimed at supporting those with hidden or learning disabilities
PCL and the working party has been praised for their commitment and contribution to making the LLR Covid-19 vaccination delivery such a success.
